Mushroom risotto
A creamy risotto without a drop of cream: the starch from the rice, stirred with hot stock, does all the work.

β± 40 minπ½ Serves 4
Ingredients
- Rice300 g
- Mushrooms300 g
- Onion1
- Butter40 g
- Grated cheese60 g
- Olive oil1 tbsp
- Stock cube2
- Water1,000 ml
- White wine100 ml
- Salt
- Pepper
- Parsley
Method
- Heat the water with the stock cubes and keep it at a simmer.
- Brown the sliced mushrooms in half the butter over high heat for 5 minutes. Set aside.
- In a wide pan, fry the chopped onion in the olive oil over medium heat for 3 minutes.
- Add the rice (arborio or carnaroli) and stir for 2 minutes until translucent. Pour in the wine and let it bubble away.
- Add the stock a ladle at a time, stirring, and wait until each is absorbed: 18 to 20 minutes.
- Off the heat, stir in the mushrooms, the rest of the butter and the cheese. Cover for 2 minutes, add pepper and serve.
π‘ Tip : Risotto should be loose enough to ripple on the plate; add a ladle of stock if it is too thick.
